3. Sure am glad that he's not HHS secretary.
Too bad they weren't able to pin Geithner.

13. Can you BELIEVE that he was Obama's FIRST PICK???

DLCer Sebelius doesn't seem
to be much better.

I would say more effective, but
it may be that STOMPING ON REAL
REFORM is exactly what Obama is
attempting here.

He is on RECORD with his healthcare
program....why can't he appoint
people that seem to WANT TO EFFECT IT?

9. He is doing what he has always done- caving to conservatives.
Easy to throw up your hands and cry "We don't have the votes" or some other excuse than to get your manicure dirty by opposing Conservative Democrats.

I'm not sure if he is working for an isurance company- but the "we dont have the votes" conservative DEMS he is covering for seem to be.

12. Sebelius is no better. On NPR Sebelius when questioned Sebelius replied "Yes" that
Obama would outlaw single-payer national health insurance.
